RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Analyzed the associations of sedentary behavior (SB) measured by questionnaire and accelerometer, with cardiometabolic markers in adolescents. METHODS: Longitudinal study with 4 years of follow-up with adolescents from João Pessoa, Brazil. SB was measured using a questionnaire (305 adolescents: 54.5% females; age 11.7 [SD = 0.7]) and use of accelerometer (136 adolescents: 54.8% females; age 11.5 [SD = 0.7]). The cardiometabolic markers were body mass index, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins (HDL-C), total cholesterol/HDL ratio, triglycerides/HDL ratio, and non-HDL-C. Generalized Estimating Equation analysis was used to for analyses. RESULTS: The average time in SB by the accelerometer was greater (average 8.3 [SD = 1.5], 8.8 [SD = 1.6], and 8.4 [SD = 1.9] h/d/wk) than observed in the questionnaire (on average 6.0 [SD = 4.1], 7.2 [SD = 4.9], and 6.6 [SD = 5.4] h/d/wk), in all years of the study, but without a significant increasing trend (P > .05) over time for both measures. There was a significant and positive association between SB measured by the questionnaire and SBP (ß = 0.148; 95% CI, 0.021-0.274). CONCLUSIONS: The SB generally does not seem to contribute to significant changes in cardiometabolic markers in adolescents, despite it being associated with increased systolic blood pressure levels.
RESUMEN
This study examined the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of meeting individual behavior and 24-hr movement behavior guidelines among Brazilian older adults with chronic diseases. The sample comprised 273 older adults aged ≥60 years (80.2% women) with chronic diseases from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Sociodemographic variables were self-reported, while 24-hr movement behaviors were assessed by accelerometry. Participants were classified as meeting (or not meeting) individual and integrated recommendations for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behavior, and sleep duration. No participant met the 24-hr movement behavior guidelines, while only 8.4% met integrated MVPA/sleep recommendations. The prevalence of meeting recommendations of MVPA, sedentary behavior, and sleep was 28.9%, 0.4%, and 32.6%, respectively. Discrepancies according to sociodemographic variables on meeting MVPA recommendations existed. The findings show the need for dissemination and implementation strategies to foster adoption of the 24-hr movement behavior guidelines among Brazilian older adults with chronic diseases.

The objective of this study was to examine the association between time engaged in moderate (MPA), vigorous (VPA), and moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) physical activity (PA) and indicators of lipid profile in adolescents. This longitudinal study with a four-year follow-up, and three collection points (2014, 2015 and 2017) analyzed the data of 136 adolescents (10-13 years old; 53.7% girls), in João Pessoa, Brazil. The time in MPA, VPA and MVPA times was measured by accelerometers. The lipid profile indicators analyzed were total cholesterol (TC), low-density (LDL-C) and high-density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), non-HDL-C, TC/HDL-C and TG/HDL-c ratios. There was an inverse association between MPA time and TC values (ß = -0.560; 95%CI: -1.116; -0.004); VPA and LDL-C (ß = -0.962; 95%CI: -1.678; -0.246) and non-HDL-C (ß = -0.955; 95%CI: -1.708; -0.201); and MVPA and TC (ß = -0.436; 95%CI: -0.816; -0.055), TG (ß = -0.415; 95%CI: -0.712; -0.118), LDL-C (ß = -0.460; 95%CI: -0.823; -0.096), non-HDL-C (ß = -0.522; 95%CI: -0.908; -0.136) and TC/HDL-C (ß = -0.472; 95%CI: -0.889; -0.055). Adolescents more engaged in PA, especially in MVPA, exhibited better levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, non-HDL-C and TC/HDL-C; and AFV exerted a greater influence on LDL-c and non-HDL-c levels.HighlightsThis study is one of the first observational longitudinal studies to analyze the association between different PA intensities, measured by accelerometer, and lipid profile indicators, with a 4-year follow-up and 3 collection points in adolescents from a low-to-middle income country;Adolescents engaged in PA, especially MVPA intensity, obtained better TC, TG, LDL-c, non-HDL-C and TC/HDL-C levels;VPA was more strongly associated with LDL-C and non-HDL-C levels compared to MVPA.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the results and assess the methodological quality of studies that analyzed the relation between physical education participation, physical activity, and sedentary behavior in schoolchildren. METHODS: Searches were conducted for original cross-sectional and longitudinal observational studies published in Portuguese, English, and Spanish between January 2007 and August 2020, on the PubMed, Web of Science, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Education Resources Information Center, and Scopus databases. RESULTS: A total of 60 articles (68 independent samples) were included in the revision (58 cross-sectional and 2 longitudinal observational studies). With regard to methodological quality, 27%, 52%, and 21% of the studies were classified as high, moderate, and low methodological quality, respectively. Physical activity was analyzed in 93% of the studies (n = 56) and sedentary behavior in 33% (n = 20). The higher frequency of physical education participation was associated with higher physical activity levels (56 of 68 results - 54/65 cross-sectional and 2/3 longitudinal studies) and less sedentary behavior (14 of 24 results), even after stratifying analyses by type and methodological quality. CONCLUSION: Physical education class participation may contribute to students being physically more active and less likely to engage in sedentary behavior.

CONTEXT: This study analyzed whether self-efficacy (SE) and perceived environmental characteristics (EC) are determinants of the decline in physical activity (PA) time in adolescents. METHODS: This used longitudinal observational approach, with 4 years of data collection, involving 355 adolescents (57.7% girls and 42.3% boys), average age of 11.8 years (0.1 y), from João Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil. SE and EC were measured by scales and PA by a questionnaire. Ordinal logistic regression was used to associate SE and EC with a decline in PA. RESULTS: There was a linear trend toward a decrease in average PA duration (58.3 [13.7] min/wk/y) and a rise in average access to places for PA (point per year) (0.6 [0.1]), urban safety (0.2 [0.1]), and traffic safety scores (0.5 [0.1]). The results of multivariable analysis indicated that SE and EC were not associated with the decline in PA. CONCLUSION: There was a decline in PA time, and SE and perceived EC were not determinants of this decline.

BACKGROUND: The interruption of the time spent in sedentary behavior (breaks) has been associated with better levels of cardiometabolic indicators in the adult population, but in adolescents, further investigations are still needed to confirm these findings. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the association of the number of breaks per day in sedentary behaviors with cardiometabolic markers and whether it was moderated by nutritional status and excessive time on sedentary behavior in adolescents. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study of 537 adolescents (52.3% girls), aged between 10 and 14 years, enrolled in public schools in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba state, Brazil. The number of daily breaks (>100 counts/minutes) in sedentary time was measured by Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometers. The following cardiometabolic markers were analyzed: systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), fasting blood glucose levels, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-c, LDL-c (all in mg/dL) and body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2). Linear regression was used to analyze the association between the number of breaks and cardiometabolic markers and whether this association was moderated by nutritional status and excessive time in sedentary behavior. The significance level of p<0.05 was adopted for all analyses. RESULTS: The number of daily breaks was negatively associated with BMI (boys - ß = -0.083; 95%CI: -0.132; -0.034 and girls - ß = -0.115; 95%CI: -0.169; -0.061), but not with the remaining cardiometabolic markers. The number of breaks per day was negatively associated with BMI (ß = -0.069; 95% CI: -0.102; -0.035), but not with the other cardiometabolic markers and this association was not moderated by the adolescents' nutritional status (p=0.221), or by excessive time in sedentary behavior (p=0.176). CONCLUSIONS: Including breaks in sedentary time seems to contribute to lower BMI values in adolescents.
FUNDAMENTO: Interrupções no tempo despendido em comportamento sedentário (breaks) têm sido associadas a melhores níveis de indicadores cardiometabólicos na população adulta. No entanto, em adolescentes, os achados sobre essa associação ainda são conflitantes. OBJETIVOS: Analisar a associação do número de breaks por dia em comportamento sedentário com marcadores cardiometabólicos e avaliar se ela é moderada pelo estado nutricional e o tempo excessivo em comportamento sedentário em adolescentes. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com 537 adolescentes (52,3% do sexo feminino), de 10 a 14 anos de idade, de escolas públicas de João Pessoa (PB). O número diário de breaks em comportamento sedentário (>100 counts/minutos) foi mensurado por meio de acelerômetros (Actigraph GT3X+). Os marcadores cardiometabólicos analisados foram: pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica (mmHg), glicose de jejum, colesterol total, triglicerídeos, HDL-c, LDL-c (todos em mg/dL) e índice de massa corporal (IMC) (kg/m2). Utilizou-se a regressão linear para analisar a associação do número de breaks com marcadores cardiometabólicos e avaliar se ela é moderada pelo estado nutricional e o tempo excessivo em comportamento sedentário. O nível de significância de p<0,05 foi adotado para todas as análises. RESULTADOS: O número de breaks por dia se associou negativamente ao IMC (ß = −0,069; IC95%: −0,102; −0,035), mas não aos demais marcadores cardiometabólicos, e essa associação não foi moderada pelo estado nutricional dos adolescentes (p=0,221) e nem pelo tempo excessivo em comportamento sedentário (p=0,176). CONCLUSÃO: A inclusão de breaks no tempo em comportamento sedentário parece contribuir para valores mais baixos do IMC em adolescentes.

OBJECTIVE: To verify the prevalence of sleep quality and duration and its association with the level of physical activity, screen time and nutritional status in adolescents. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study with 1,432 adolescents (53.1%, female), ten to 14 years old (12.0±1.0 year) from public schools in Joao Pessoa, Northeast Brazil. Physical activity (≥300 vs. <300 minutes/week), screen time (≤2 vs. >2 h/day) and duration (<8 vs. ≥8 h/day) and perception of sleep quality (negative vs. positive perception) were measured by questionnaire. Nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (low weight / normal weight vs. overweight / obesity). Binary logistic regression was used to analyze association between variables, considering different aggregation of negative factors. RESULTS: The prevalence of insufficient duration and negative perception of sleep quality was 12.6% (95%CI 10.9-14.4) and 21.0% (95%CI 18.9-23.1), respectively. There was a linear trend in the chance of the adolescents to present insufficient duration of sleep as a result of simultaneous negative factors (physical inactivity, excessive screen time, being overweight) (OR=4.31; 95%CI 1.50-12.48). CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents exposed simultaneously to low levels of physical activity, excessive screen time and overweight had a lower sleep duration.

O presente estudo caracterizou os grupos de pesquisa brasileiros que possuem linhas de pesquisa voltadas à temática da mensuração da atividade física e/ou comportamento sedentário. Autores de artigos originais envolvendo desenvolvimento, adaptação, tradução e testagem de qualidade de medidas de instrumentos da atividade física/comportamento sedentário na população brasileira foram convidados a responder um instrumento online contendo 19 questões para a identificação de líderes e de características gerais dos grupos de pesquisa. Vinte e oito grupos de pesquisa foram identificados, sendo o pioneiro criado na década de 1970 e a maioria nas últimas duas décadas. Enquanto a região sudeste apresentou a maior concentração de grupos, foi identificada ausência de grupos nas regiões norte e centro-oeste. Os métodos de mensuração mais testados por estes grupos foram os subjetivos, predominantemente questionários (n = 24), seguidos pelos métodos objetivos por meio de acelerômetros (n = 18) e pedômetros (n = 9). Foram identificadas várias conexões (parcerias permanentes com outros grupos/instituições) em nível nacional e internacional, especialmente com países da América do Norte, Europa e Austrália. Espera-se que os resultados do presente estudo possam estimular ações colaborativas entre grupos e pesquisadores brasileiros com o intuito de reduzir desigualdades regionais e aprimorar a produção do conhecimento na área da mensuração da atividade física e do comportamento sedentário
The present study characterized the Brazilian research groups that have research lines focused on the meas-uring of physical activity and/or sedentary behavior. Authors of original articles that involved the devel-opment, adaptation, translation, and quality testing of measures of physical activity/sedentary behavior instruments in the Brazilian population were invited to answer an online instrument containing 19 questions to identify leaders and general characteristics of research groups. Twenty-eight research groups were identified, the pioneer being created in the 1970's and the majority in the last two decades. While the Southeast region had the highest concentration of groups, the absence of groups was identified in the North and Midwest regions. The measurement methods most tested by these groups were subjective, predominantly questionnaires (n = 24), followed by objective methods using accelerometers (n = 18) and pedometers (n = 9). Several connections (permanent partnerships with other groups/institutions) were identified at national and international levels, especially with countries in North America, Europe, and Australia. It is expected that the results of the present study can stimulate collaborative actions between Brazilian groups and re-searchers to reduce regional inequalities and improve the production of knowledge in the area of measuring physical activity and sedentary behavior

RESUMO Objetivo: Verificar a prevalência da percepção da qualidade e duração do sono e sua associação com o nível de atividade física, tempo de tela e estado nutricional em adolescentes. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 1.432 adolescentes (53,1% do sexo feminino), de dez a 14 anos de idade (12,0±1,0 ano) e de escolas públicas de João Pessoa (PB). A atividade física (≥300 vs. <300 min/semana), o tempo de tela (≤2 vs. >2 h/dia) e a duração (<8 vs. ≥8 h/dia) e percepção da qualidade do sono (percepção negativa vs. percepção positiva) foram mensuradas por questionário. O estado nutricional foi avaliado pelo índice de massa corporal (baixo peso/peso normal vs. sobrepeso/obesidade). A regressão logística binária foi utilizada para analisar a associação entre as variáveis. Resultados: A prevalência de duração insuficiente e a percepção negativa da qualidade do sono foram de 12,6% (intervalo de confiança de 95% [IC95%] 10,9-14,4) e 21,0% (IC95% 18,9-23,1), respectivamente. Identificou-se tendência linear de aumento na chance de os adolescentes apresentarem duração insuficiente de sono com o aumento do número de fatores negativos (inatividade física, tempo excessivo de tela, excesso de peso corporal) a que eles estavam expostos (Odds Ratio [OR]=4,31; IC95% 1,50-12,48). Conclusões: Adolescentes expostos simultaneamente a baixos níveis de atividade física, tempo excessivo de tela e excesso de peso tiveram menor duração de sono.

Os marcadores usados foram: glicose, colesterol total, triglicerídeos, lipoproteínas de alta (HDL-C) e baixa (LDL-C) densidade, índice de massa corporal (IMC) e pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica. Maior tempo e número médio de bouts < 30 minutos em CS se associaram a menores valores de colesterol total e LDL-C no sexo masculino. O número de bouts < 30 se associou de forma inversa ao IMC em ambos os sexos e bouts ≥ 30 minutos de forma positiva no feminino.
ABSTRACT This study analyzed the association between time and bouts of sedentary behavior (SB) and cardiometabolic markers in adolescents. A total of 549 adolescents (10-14 years old) was from João Pessoa (PB). The time and number of bouts < 30 and ≥ 30 minutes of SB (100 counts/minute) was measured by accelerometer. The cardiometabolic markers used were: glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high (HDL-C) and low (LDL-C) lipoproteins density, body mass index (BMI) and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Higher time and number of bouts < 30 minutes of SB were associated with lower total cholesterol and LDL-C in males. The number of bouts < 30 was inversely associated with BMI in both sexes and bouts ≥ 30 minutes positively in the female.

Los marcadores cardiometabólicos utilizados fueron: glucosa, colesterol total, triglicéridos, lipoproteínas de alta (HDL-C) y baja (LDL-C) densidad, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y presión arterial sistólica y diastólica. El mayor tiempo y cantidad de intervalos < 30 minutos de CS se relacionaron con valores inferiores de colesterol total y LDL-C en el sexo masculino. El número de intervalos < 30 se relacionó de forma inversa con el IMC en ambos sexos y los intervalos ≥ 30 minutos se relacionaron de forma positiva en el sexo femenino.
RESUMEN
Abstract The study analyzed the effect of number of hours and days of accelerometer use on estimates of physical activity (PA) time in adolescents. Cross-sectional study of 784 adolescents from 10 to 14 years old (53.9% girls). Overlapping 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were used to compare mean light (LPA), moderate (MPA), vigorous (VPA) and moderate to vigorous (MVPA) physical activity times and prevalence of sufficient PA levels between different numbers of hours (≥6, ≥8 and ≥10 hours/day) and days (≥3, ≥4, ≥5 and 7 days of use). The criterions of ≥6 hours/day with ≥3, ≥4, ≥5 e 7 days and ≥8 hour/day with ≥3, ≥4 e ≥5 days of accelerometer use underestimated, in average, the LPA time in 23.1 and 12.6 min/day, respectively, compared ≥10 hours/day. There were no significant differences in mean MPA, VPA and MVPA times and prevalence of sufficient PA levels between the number of hours and days of use analyzed. To produce accurate estimates of PA time in teenagers, ≥3 days of accelerometer use was adopted for ≥10 hours/day of LPA and ≥ 6 hours/day of MPA, VPA and MVPA.
Resumo Objetivou-se analisar o efeito da quantidade de horas e dias de uso do acelerômetro sobre as estimativas de tempo de atividade física (AF) em adolescentes. Estudo transversal com 784 adolescentes de 10 a 14 anos de idade (53,9% do sexo feminino). Os tempos médios de atividade física leve (AFL), moderada (AFM), vigorosa (AFV), moderada a vigorosa (AFMV) e as prevalências de níveis suficientes de AF entre diferentes quantidades de horas (≥6, ≥8 e ≥10 horas/dia) e dias (≥3, ≥4, ≥5 e 7 dias/uso) de uso do acelerômetro foram comparadas pelas interseções dos intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%). Os critérios de ≥6 horas/dia com ≥3, ≥4, ≥5 e 7 dias e ≥8 horas/dia com ≥3, ≥4 e ≥5 dias de uso do acelerômetro subestimaram, em média, o tempo de AFL em 23,1 e 12,6 min/dia, respectivamente, comparados a ≥10 horas/dia.Não houve diferenças significativas nos tempos médios de AFM, AFV, AFMV e nas prevalências de níveis suficientes de AF entre as quantidades de horas e dias de uso analisadas. Para produzir estimativas precisas do tempo de AF em adolescentes foi necessário adotar ≥3 dias de uso do acelerômetro durante ≥10 horas/dia para AFL e ≥6 horas/dia para AFM, AFV e AFMV.

The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of cutoff points in defining sedentary behavior (SB) time and prevalence, measured by accelerometers in adolescents from Northeastern Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study with adolescents aged between 10 and 14 years from public schools in João Pessoa, Paraíba state, conducted in 2014. SB was measured by an accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X+) and the following cutoff points were applied: Evenson (≤ 25 counts/15sec), Puyau (< 800 counts/60sec), Vanhelst (≤ 400 counts/60sec), Hänggi (< 3 counts/1sec) and Romanzini (≤ 180 counts/15sec), along with the 20 and 60-minute accelerometer nonwear time. To compare the av-erage and prevalence of excessive SB time (≥ 8 hours/day) between cutoff points, one-way ANOVA for repeated measures (Bonferroni post hoc) and the Cochran test, respectively, were used. There were significant differences in average SB between the cutoff points analyzed (p > 0.05), ranging from 37.44 min/day (Romanzini: 547.37 min/day vs. Vanhelst: 584.81 min/day) to 370.44 min/day (Hänggi: 310.51 min/day vs. Puyau: 680.95 min/day) for the 20-minute nonwear criterion; and from 81.52 min/day (Evenson: 502.41 min/day vs. Romanzini: 583.93 min/day) to 361.94 min/day (Hänggi: 354.58 min/day vs. Puyau: 716.52 min/day) for the 60-minute criterion. The prevalence of excessive SB varied from 3.3% (Hänggi) to 99.3% (Puyau). Average daily SB and the prevalence of excessive SB in the adolescents showed marked differences between the cutoff points assessed
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o impacto dos pontos de corte para definir comportamento sedentário (CS) no tempo e prevalência desse comportamento, mensurado por acelerômetros, em adolescentes no Nordeste do Brasil. Estudo transversal, com adolescentes de 10 a 14 anos de idade de escolas públicas de João Pessoa, Paraíba, em 2014. O CS foi mensurado por acelerômetro (ActiGraph GT3X+) e foram aplicados os seguintes pontos de corte: Evenson (≤ 25 counts/15seg), Puyau (< 800 counts/60seg), Vanhelst (≤ 400 counts/60seg), Hänggi (< 3 counts/1seg) e Romanzini (≤ 180 counts/15seg), combinados às definições de 20 e 60 minutos de não uso do acelerômetro. Para comparar o tempo médio e a prevalência de tempo excessivo de CS (≥ 8 horas/dia), entre os pontos de corte, utilizou-se a ANOVA ONE-WAY para medidas repetidas (post hoc de Bonferroni) e o teste de Cochran, respectivamente. Houve diferenças significativas na média de CS entre todos os pontos de corte analisados (p < 0,05), variando de 37,44 min/dia (Romanzini: 547,37 min/dia vs. Vanhelst: 584,81 min/dia) a 370,44 min/dia (Hänggi: 310,51 min/dia vs. Puyau: 680,95 min/dia) para o critério de 20 minutos de não uso; e de 81,52 min/dia (Evenson: 502,41 min/dia vs. Romanzini: 583,93 min/dia) a 361,94 min/dia (Hänggi: 354,58 min/dia vs. Puyau: 716,52 min/dia) para o de 60 minutos. A prevalência de exposição excessiva de CS variou de 3,3% (Hänggi) a 99,3% (Puyau). O tempo médio diário e a prevalência de exposição excessiva de CS de adolescentes apresentaram diferenças acentuadas entre os pontos de corte analisado

O objetivo desse estudo foi descrever os padrões de comportamento sedentário de adolescentes. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 656 adolescentes (10 14 anos de idade) de escolas públicas de João Pessoa, Paraíba. O comportamento sedentário foi mensurado por acelerômetro Actigraph GT3X+ (≤ 100 counts/min). Os padrões de comportamento sedentário foram definidos pelo tempo médio (na semana; em dias de meio e final de semana; dentro e fora do horário escolar), número de bouts e breaks diários, e tempo excessivo sedentário (> 8 horas/dia). Os adolescentes permaneceram em média 444,63 min/dia em comportamento sedentário, sendo mais elevado nos dias de meio de semana (448,73 min/dia) comparado aos do final de semana (434,38 min/dia; p = 0,004) e no horário escolar (164,32 min/dia) comparado ao fora da escola (142,21 min/dia; p < 0,001). Apresentaram em média, 96,19 breaks por dia de comportamento sedentário, sendo 98,6% desses em intervalos de curta duração (< 20 minutos). Verificou-se que 30,2% (IC95%: 26,7-33,7) dos adolescentes passavam > 8 horas/dia em comportamento sedentário. No geral, os do sexo feminino e mais jovens (10 11 anos) apresentaram maior número médio de breaks por dia. Os adolescentes mais velhos (12 14 anos) apresentaram maior número de bouts longos e os do sexo masculino e classe econômica média-baixa maior número de breaks longos. A exposição dos adolescentes aos comportamentos sedentários foi alta, principalmente nos dias do meio de semana e no horário escolar. A maioria dos bouts e breaks no comportamento sedentário foi realizada em períodos de curta duração, com variações de exposição conforme as características sociodemográficas dos adolescentes
The aim of this study was to describe the patterns of sedentary behavior of adolescents. It is a cross-sectional study with 656 adolescents (10 to 14 years old) from public schools in João Pessoa, Paraíba. Sedentary be-havior was measured by Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer (≤ 100 counts/minute). Sedentary behavior pat-terns were defined by the average time (in the week; middle and weekend days; in-school and out-of-school), number of bouts and breaks per day and excessive sedentary time (> 8 hours/day). Adolescents remained on average 444.63 minutes/day in sedentary behavior, being higher on mid-week days (448.73 min/day) com-pared to weekend days (434.38 min/day; p = 0.004) and during the time in school (164.32 min/day) com-pared to the time outside of school (142.21 min/day; p < 0.001). They showed on average 96.19 breaks per day of sedentary behavior, being 98.6% of these in short intervals (< 20 minutes). It was verified that 30.2% (95%CI: 26.7-33.7) of the adolescents spent > 8 hours/day in sedentary behavior. Overall, those females and the youngest (10 11 years old) had the highest average number of breaks per day. The older adolescents (12 14 years old) had a greater number of long duration bouts and the males and middle-lower economic class adolescents had more long-term breaks. We conclude that exposure to sedentary behaviors was high, especially on mid-week days and during school time. Most bouts and breaks in sedentary behavior were performed by short periods with variations of exposure according adolescents sociodemographic characteristics

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the reproducibility and concurrent validity of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (QAFA). The reproducibility study (repeated evaluations with two-day interval between them) included 171 adolescents (average age 12.3 years, SD = 1.1), and the validity study (reference method: "Actgraph GT3X" accelerometer) included 341 adolescents (average age 11.9 years, SD = 1.0). All participants were students enrolled in public schools of Joao Pessoa (PB), Brazil. The QAFA reproducibility was measured using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Kappa PABAK Coefficient. Validity was evaluated by the Spearman correlation, Bland and Altman plot, sensitivity and specificity analysis. Reproducibility was satisfactory (ICC = 0.73; 95%CI: 0.63 - 0.79; Kappa PABAK = 0.58), and higher in physical activity frequency items (eight activities with ICC ≥ 0.70) than in duration items (seven activities with ICC ≥ 0.70). The correlation between QAFA and accelerometer was low (rho = 0.37; p < 0.001). Sensitivity was high (from 79.3% to 90.4%) and specificity was low (from 29.9% to 50.6%). The agreement between QAFA and accelerometer was satisfactory (Bland-Altman). QAFA showed satisfactory reproducibility and validity and can be used to evaluate physical activity in younger adolescents in face-to-face interviews.
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a reprodutibilidade e a validade de concorrente do Questionário de Atividade Física para Adolescentes (QAFA). O estudo de reprodutibilidade (medidas repetidas com dois dias de intervalo entre réplicas de aplicação) incluiu 171 adolescentes (média de idade = 12,3 anos, DP = 1,1) e o de validade (critério de referência: acelerômetro "Actgraph GT3X") 341 adolescentes (média de idade = 11,9 anos, dp = 1,0). Todos eram estudantes do ensino fundamental II, da rede pública de ensino de João Pessoa (PB), Brasil. A reprodutibilidade do QAFA foi estimada por meio do coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) e do índice de concordância Kappa PABAK. A validade foi avaliada pela correlação de Spearman, diagrama de Bland-Altman, sensibilidade e especificidade. A reprodutibilidade do QAFA foi satisfatória (CCI = 0,73, IC95%: 0,63 - 0,79; Kapa PABAK = 0,58), sendo maior para medida de frequência de prática (oito atividades com CCI > 0,70) comparado à de duração (sete atividades com CCI > 0,70). A correlação entre a medida do QAFA e a do acelerômetro foi baixa (rho = 0,37; p < 0,001). A sensibilidade foi elevada (79,3% a 90,4%) e a especificidade baixa (29,9% a 50,6%). A concordância entre a medida do QAFA e a do acelerômetro foi satisfatória (Bland-Altman). O QAFA apresentou níveis satisfatórios de reprodutibilidade e validade concorrente, podendo ser aplicado na forma de entrevista face-a-face para mensurar atividade física em adolescentes mais jovens.

Abstract This study aimed was to compare the prevalence of sufficient levels of physical activity produced by a measure of the simplified questionnaire compared to a detailed questionnaire and analyze the concordances between these measures in adolescents. This is cross-sectional study with 2,859 adolescents high school students (57.8% female, 14-19 years old), from the city of João Pessoa (PB), Northeast, Brazil. Physical activity was measured by two questionnaires: a simplified instrument, containing a single question and a detailed questionnaire. Adolescents engaging in physical activity ≥300 minutes/week were classified as sufficiently physically active. Agreement between the two measures was evaluated by the Kappa statistic (k) and sensitivity and specificity measures using the results of the detailed questionnaire as reference. The prevalence of adequate levels of physical activity was lower in the simplified questionnaire (20.1%; 95%CI: 18.6-21.6) compared to the detailed questionnaire (50.2%; 95%CI: 48.4-52.7). Inter-questionnaire agreement was slight (almost all with k<0.30). Sensitivity of the simplified questionnaire was low (from 26.4%, 95%CI: 22.9-30.0; to 40.9%, 95%CI: 37.0-45.0), and specificity was high (from 92.3%, 95%CI: 86.9-96.0; to 94.3%, 95%CI: 92.0-96.1). Conclusions: the agreement between the prevalence of sufficient levels of physical activity measured by a simplified and detailed questionnaire was low. Simplified questionnaires should be used with caution because they can underestimate the prevalence of levels of physical activity in adolescents.
Resumo O estudo teve como objetivo comparar as prevalências de níveis suficientes de atividade física produzida pela medida de um questionário simplificado e a de outro detalhado, e analisar a concordâncias entre estas medidas, em adolescentes. Estudo transversal conduzido com 2.859 adolescentes do ensino médio com idade entre 14 e 19 anos (57,8% do sexo feminino), João Pessoa (PB), Nordeste do Brasil.. Dados sobre atividade física foram obtidos utilizando um questionário simplificado e outro detalhado. Foram classificados como suficientemente ativos adolescentes com prática de atividade física ≥300 minutos/semana. A concordância entre as medidas dos questionários foi avaliada pelo índice Kappa (k) e medidas de sensibilidade e especificidade, tendo como referência a medida do questionário detalhado. A prevalência de níveis suficientes de prática atividade física do questionário simplificado (20,1%, IC95%: 18,6-21,6) foi inferior a do questionário detalhado (50,2%, IC95%: 48,4-52,7). A concordância entre as medidas dos questionários foi leve (k variando de 0,21 a 0,34). A sensibilidade da medida de atividade física do questionário simplificado foi baixa (variou de 26,4%, IC95%: 22,9-30,0; a 40,9%, IC95%: 37,0-45,0) e a especificidade alta (variou de 92,3%, IC95%: 86,9-96,0; a 94,3%, IC95%: 92,0-96,1). Concluiu-se que as prevalências de níveis suficientes de prática de atividade física foram mais baixas na medida simplificada comparada a detalhada e a concordância entre elas foi leve. É preciso ter cautela na utilização de questionários simplificados e na comparação dos níveis de atividade física produzidas por essa medida e a de questionários detalhados.
